Since the inception of the Pennsylvania Film Office, about the time of Oscar®-winner The Deer Hunter, Pennsylvania has been selected as the location for more than 150 American feature films and a dozen or more international productions. Pennsylvania also has been the primary location for several series and made-for-TV movies, plus hundreds of documentaries, educational films and commercials.
Films made on location in Pennsylvania before the inception of the Pennsylvania
Film Office in 1977 include Rocky, The Last of the Red Hot Lovers, The Molly
Maguires, The Blob, Angels in the Outfield, and more. Remember Pearl White tied
to the railroad trestle in Perils of Pauline? That was PA, too.
"... this place... the topography is really unique... also, the feel of it is unique, and it imbued the reenactors and the cast with the feeling that they would not have achieved somewhere else." -Ronald Maxwell, Scriptwriter/Director, Gettysburg
